Sheikh Qassem to UN Official: 1559 Report Hostile towards Hezbollah

Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem on Monday received United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Sigrid Kaag, with whom he discussed latest developments in the Arab region.

Sheikh Qassem said that UN Chief’s fresh report on 1559 resolution was “hostile” towards Hezbollah and “harmonious” with US-Israeli interests. “The report is a miserable attempt to incite the Lebanese against the Resistance and its role,” his eminence said.

“As long as the UN Secretary General follows US dictations, he will not be able to play the role of the unbiased and the peacemaker,” his eminence added. “We believe that the right shall triumph,” Sheikh Qassem stressed.

“The occupied lands will be liberated, God willing, and we will preserve the sovereignty of our country and our independence in the face of challenges regardless of the price,” his eminence concluded.
